THE MIDNIGHT FROLICS.

Bright -with mirth and music, the Midnight . Frolics commenced their seventh week at His Majesty's Theatre last night. Although the others have'been, of an excellent standard, this week's performance is one of the best. iThe whole show is the merriest imaginable, and. the house, last night- was kept in a continual laugh at the clever antics and singing of the company. Clem Dawe even surpassed himself in his whirlwind comedy, especially in the wireless scene. Gregory Ivanpff delighted one and all with his splendid violin solos, and Dorothy White in "Songs That Are Gay" was quite up to the mark with her cheery style..' "The Lie Indicator/ with Clem Dawe, Neil M f Quire, whose singing was. ..one .'of. the features "of the evening, and Eric ijdgley, demonstrated the futility of lying in the presence of. a marvellous new invention. Clem Dawe eventually broke the machine in excusing himself to his wife. The Frolics' Jazz Band played both jazz and syncopated operatic numbers, both being rendered in their usually brisk style. Mr. Alec Regan sang throughout the programme, his songs including "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain," and, in conjunction with Clem, Dawe, "Chick, Chick, Chicken,"' which made-a most decided, impression: The Dick Dorothy Trio providedone of : tne•prettiest, scenes of the evening with "Moon Moths," in which clowns were seen trying to win the heart of Columbine. The whole evening's entertainment is of' an unusually high standard, and can be well recommended.
